“Chromatica was very literal because that’s all I had,” she says. “I didn’t have a lot of the same type of poetry inside of me because I sort of lost it. And I actually think that was true for Joanne as well. But it’s almost like if someone were to say, ‘How do you feel?’ and you refuse to give an artistic response, you just go, ‘I feel like shit.’ … The spirit of Chromatica was to be hopeful when you’re not.”
"《Chromatica》是非常直白的,因为那是我当时拥有的全部,"她说道。"我内心并没有太多同类型的诗歌,因为我某种程度上已经失去了它们。实际上,我觉得乔安妮的情况也是如此。但这几乎就像是如果有人问你'你感觉如何?'而你拒绝给出艺术化的回答,你只是说'我感觉糟透了...'《Chromatica》的精神在于,即使你感觉不到希望,也要保持希望。"
